I am grateful this morning for the beauty that surrounds me…feels real good. I am grateful for these miracles.
I am grateful for going to dinner with a bunch of my widowed friends and then on to a movie…I saw “Something’s Gotta Give.” The new Jack Nickolson and Dianne Keaton flick. Actually hilarious! One of the more “up-tight” non-participating ones commented that she heard it was risqué?…with eyes ready to question my choice? I checked with her with what she meant by risqué? Duh-h-h? Then offered, “Does it mean that if you have not done what they might do that “it” is then considered risqué?”
No response…Then I continued, “Because, to me, if I’ve already done what they might do, I can’t actually refer to “it” as risqué…then can I?”
I am grateful for my freedom…feels just right…if indeed, I am free?
In the segment, “The Bridge to the Real World…” Jesus tells me that “Love is freedom!”
(first person){{{And for me to look for it by placing myself in bondage is to separate myself from it. For the Love of God, no longer seek for union in separation, nor for freedom in bondage! As I release, so will I be released. Forget this not, or Love will be unable to find me and comfort me.
There is a way in which the Holy Spirit asks my help, if I would have His. The holy instant is His most helpful aid in protecting me from the attraction of guilt, the real lure in the special relationship. I do not recognize that this is its real appeal, for the ego has taught me that freedom lies in it/guilt. Yet the closer I look at the special relationship, the more apparent it becomes that it must foster guilt and therefore must imprison.}}}
Me? I reckoned that I was guilty of placing my crap onto Hank, rather than Holy Spirit to undo for me. I decided to forgive me for doing just that…in the meantime, Hank appears scared to death of me…or as I perceive his fear appearing antics, am I as scared of me as he appears to be? If so, this is illuminating to me. Jesus said that, “Love is freedom…” and will I be free when I love Hank and me like God loves us?
The closer that I observe Hank in relation to me…it is apparent that I am guilty of not loving me like God does, or I could not want prison for Hank and that prison would include me. It is with deep Compassion that I observe us both in action…and we will both be free…rell
